I can tell you from first hand traveling as a professional at anything is not what it seems. I played golf professionaly for 5 years on and off many mini tours which would equal the Stren Series and if you don't make it. It takes the fun out. I slept in cars ,ate saltine crackers and spagittioes for monthes at a time. One time in a Nike event I stayed in a tent at camp ground in Panama City that had an outdoor ping pong table (now that sux). I have people come up to me and ask if they should turn professional and I would never want to discourge someone from chasing a dream. But be real. If you can't win at least 90% of your local or state tournaments then don't even think about it. You are only setting yourself up for failure. Which in turn takes the fun out of it. I love fishing too much to hate what it would become!

What is everyone out using as far as reel , line # ,rod length, and how are you working it?

What tournament was it?

Great fish WOW! Way to go!

Ok I had a really bad day and woke up ticked this morning. Thanks for ruining another bad day MUDDY. That might be the funnyest thing I've heard in 07.

Look out Russ has a Shimano tackle box does this make him part of the POSSE?

Go to fishing flee market and see if someone has and older Curado they would sell. If your going to spend $40.00 put another $25.00 and get something that will last forever as long as you sevice it. Don't waste your money. I would buy here first from what I have seen you can really trust everyone on this site.

Muddy you will have to stop by Georgia first , my thumbs are raw from catching yesterday. But the weather has been crazy here also 85 one day 45 the next Bass are all confused. But I would not want to trade with someone chomping at the bit to try a new reel out. Maybe you can practice flipping in the living room or underhand roll casting under the bed or kitchen table. lol

I have 6 older Curado's and I'm going to buy 2 more. Has anyone tried the new ones ? If so please lend some advise.

Hey send use a picture of the 1st fish you catch with it. MOOK UP!

I use David Blaine worm 8' with #4 Gamakatsu J hook. Ok seriously Zoom weightless. I fish it like a jerk bait mostly twitch it a couple of time pause it twitch it . You can work it like that with a faster retreive I've had great luck both ways.

I just read what a mook is and I din't know they had a name for me!

I'm in But can someone tell me what a mook is ? I'm new to the sight and can't spell a lick just ask Russ.

i did not know you guys or yall for us south side boys grew bass that big in N.E.

ok besides great videos Check oput the sweatshirts i want one How can we get one?

i'm with road warrior something about a curado just look at non sponsored pros and some sponsored check bass mag march old pic of greg hackney look at what he was using before a big quantam pay check or the rookie that won this years first BASS tournament he was using an old green curado

I have 2 both curado 200 reels custom g loomis 7' mh rods for all t rigs p line 12lb for trick worms i use a curado 200 with and old 6'6 med allstar 8lb p line can throw a weightless zoom trick worm a mile with it

Does anyone know who makes Dick's rods ? The reason why asked is there is a guy I fish with every week that is one of the best tournament guys in Georgia his name is Jimmy Waley and he has at least a 100 custom rods and all he will fish with is Dick's 7 IMG rods. He swears by them.

Rea you guys use a regular jig and just swimming it ? Or is there one made for swimming?

how can I get one?

I just signed up so i'm a new member and I didn't know there was a posse. But I have tried many different reels and once you fish a CURADO it's hard to throw anything else.
